WB’s Pam Abdy On Refocused Theatrical Animation Business: “We Built It From Ground Up With Movies In Production Through 2029. It Has To Be Part Of Family Audience Strategy & They Need More To Take Kids To Theaters.” On WarnerDiscovery, “There’s No Time For Worrying About Things You Can’t Control.”

Every new Animation department struggles at first so i wish them good luck.
The first few years are going to be rough but sooner or later they will find their brand identity.
It took Sony Pictures Animation a lot of trial and error before they arrived at Spider-Verse and KPop Demon Hunters.
WB always struggled to find consistency with their animated films. They started out strong with the Lego movie back in 2014 but never reached those heights again. Maybe Abdy and Deluca can turn things around.
I’m still sad we never got that Lego Superfriends movie to follow-up the Lego Batman movie
This is something Paramount needs to understand with its own animated feature strategy, with or without a Warner Bros merger. I believe Warner Bros easily has the stronger potential in this area, both with franchises and originals.
